Chp 17: A new evil
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. I do own Amreld.
A/N: Sorry for last chapters cliffy! But I had to do it. I was feeling veeeerry evil. Anyway, from all the times peeps have told me about flame reviews, I thought they would suck. But actually, I don't mind 'em, though, the one I got wasn't a flame, exactly, it was close enough. So, I don't mind 'em too much, as long as you aren't saying my story sucks or anything. So, bring on the..what should I call something that isn't exactly a flame but is pretty close? A sparke! Okay, bring on the sparkers!(I just felt like spelling it like that.) ^_~

"Yuka!" cried Eri.
Hikari grabbed Yuka, spun her around, and put the knife to her throat. Yuka had tears streaming down her face, Kagome could smell her fear and it brought her back into full control, but not for long. Hikari chuckled at her and said, "You'd better submit, or you'll have one dead friend." He pressed the knife to her throat.
Kagome was trying to suppress her rage at Hikari stooping so low as to do something like that. She could hardly stop herself from cutting him limb from limb. She might have good control, but it was nowhere near the level of control that Sesshoumaru had. She clenched her fists and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she bowed her head so no one would see her blood red gaze.
Hikari chuckled at her again, "What'll it be, bitch? You and your friend dead, or you submit to me and no one gets hurt." He pressed the knife to her throat harder, drawing a trickle of blood.
Kagome could smell Yuka's blood and that pushed her closer to the edge; she slowly turned so only Hikari could see her eyes.
Hikari gasped and pressed the knife harder against Yuka's throat. Kagome couldn't and didn't want to suppress the threatening growl that reverberated from her. Kagome felt her claws retuning and her fangs re- growing.
Kagome grinned at him, so once again, only he could see. He saw her fangs and pressed the knife harder against Yuka's throat. The crowd was gone.
Kagome was gradually regaining some of her control, but she couldn't hide her claws of fangs. She growled low at him again. "You picked the wrong bitch to mess with Shimoto."
Hikari kept the knife pressed firmly against Yuka's throat and hissed at Kagome. 'So, I was right.' He thought.
Kagome reached out with her telekinetic powers and wrenched the knife from Yuka's throat. She sent the knife spinning into the wall. She savagely ripped Hikari away from Yuka. Kagome gently picked Yuka up with her power and set her down by Eri. She turned to Hikari and scowled. She didn't notice that her crescent moon had returned.
Kagome's eyes glowed red as she set Hikari on his feet. "You see Hikari," she started slowly walking toward him. "Unlike the three girls you raped, and my friend Yuka," She walked right into his face and snarled, baring her fangs. "I am not defenseless and unprepared! You bastard! You wanted a fight and your going to get one!"
She dropped her telekinetic hold on Hikari and let him drop unceremoniously to the ground. She backed up a few steps from him and said, "Get up."
Hikari glared at her as he staggered to his feet. "Bitch!"
Kagome grinned, "More than you know, Shimoto, more than you know."
Hikari rushed at her and aimed to hit her in the face, but Kagome dodged with grace. Kagome now had returned a small amount of control. Hikari lunged at Kagome again, but instead of dodging, Kagome caught his fist in her hand. She squeezed her hand around his fist, causing her claws to cut into his skin. The blood on her claws made them thrum with the need to release the poison in them. But Kagome did not want to kill him, scratch that, She DID want to kill him, but she knew she couldn't. S she settled for hurting him, bad. Kagome gripped Hikari by the throat and lifted him of the ground. He gripped her wrist in an attempt to get her to release him.
The red mist slowly cleared from her vision, and she looked into the red face of an oxygen deprived Hikari. She snarled and threw him into the wall of the school garden. Now the stripes on Kagome's face were partially visible. The ground shook with the impact of Hikari's body to the wall. Kagome looked at his unconscious form with disgust and turned back to a terrified Eri, and an unconscious Yuka. Kagome shifted back so none of her youkai aspects showed.
She rushed over to them and looked at Yuka's throat, there was a three- inch slice on it, not deep, but a cut no less. She picked Yuka up and motioned for Eri to follow.
"I'm going home early, you can come with me if you like." She stared walking away and Eri followed.
Kagome got home and said, "Mom! Get the first aid kit! Yuka's hurt!" Kagome set Yuka on the couch and went to find Souta and Aiko. She found Souta in the kitchen, next to Aiko, by the table. She grabbed Souta's arm and quickly hid his youkai look. She said, "Yuka's hurt and Eri's here. She can't see you like that."
After her mother got Yuka bandaged and calmed Eri down, Eri fell asleep. Kagome told Aiko all that had happened. She was still wondering why Midoriko didn't tell her to control herself like she did when she was with Sesshoumaru.
"Mom. He's raped three girls; he almost raped Eri, and almost killed Yuka. Nobody can do anything about it! It's because his father is like some rich business guy who has more power than everyone. He threatened to close the school down if they did anything to stop Hikari. And everyone is too scared of him to do otherwise. I'm going to need to stay an extra day or two. I'll go tell Sesshoumaru.
Kagome walked to the well and jumped in. She leaped out and landed on the ground, she still was in her human shape. She reached out with her telepathic powers to locate Ah-Uhn.
'Ah-Uhn.'
-Yes lady Kagome?-
'Ah-Uhn, tell Sesshoumaru that I need a few more days in my time, and if he comes here looking for me, I'll kick his fluffy tail up Mt. Everest!'
$Huh?$ was what Uhn answered.
Kagome sweatdropped. 'Uhhh. never mind. Forget I said that. Just tell him that if he comes after me or says no I'm not gonna be happy.'
-Okay, is there anything else Lady Kagome?-
'Nope. Thanks Ah-Uhn. If Fluffy gives you any crap about me I'll knock him into next week K?'
Ah chuckled -You are too kind Lady Kagome. Good bye.-
Kagome smiled mentally. 'Ja ne.'
Kagome, forgetting to hide her scent and aura, leaned against the well and rubbed her temples where a headache was starting.
"Gods, how the hell did my life get so damn complicated?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
****Kaede's Village****
Inuyasha was sitting in a tree near the village sulking when he sensed a familiar presence.
'Kagome?' he sniffed the air, and sure enough, Kagome scent was coming from the direction of the well.
Inuyasha jumped from his tree branch and ran towards the scent of Kagome.
When he found her she was standing by the well, completely all right, not even the scent of the wound he thought she had. She had a faraway look in her eyes. A ghost of a smile marred her impassive face. She sat down by the well and rubbed her temples.
"Gods, how the hell did my life get so damn complicated?"
Inuyasha's jaw dropped. 'Did Kagome just swear?' was all he thought.
"Kagome." he whispered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome sensed the familiar presence too late. She heard his whisper. She felt that proverbial pain well up in her heart. Kagome stiffened.
"Greetings Inuyasha."
Inuyasha could only stare at her.
"I believe you've met my friend." A smirk played on her lips.
Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something, but nothing would come out.
"So, how many souls did Kikyou have to scavenge from the dead to recover from being pinned to a tree?"
Inuyasha found his voice. "Don't talk about Kikyou like that!"
Kagome ignored the comment and said, "I'll have you know, my friend was not very happy about being shot by an arrow of a corpse. As I was not happy about being shot by Naraku."
Inuyasha just kept staring at her. "How could Naraku have shot you when there is no trace of a wound on you?"
Kagome smirked again. "Inuyasha, you never did have any sense of problem solving. With my miko powers, I heal almost as fast as a demon. I'm not the same person you gave to Sesshoumaru. Oh, and by the way, I'm not exactly his prisoner anymore."
Inuyasha, mad at being insulted said something veeeerry stupid. "Then what are you? His whore?"
Kagome's eyes crackled with red electricity, identified as her miko powers. The ends of her hair sparked with it and her fingertips had little strings of electricity flickering in between them. "What did you call me?" she asked in a dangerously low, calm tone."
Inuyasha folded his arms and smirked. "Keh, I said what are you? His whore?"
Kagome seriously considered burning him to a crisp, but thought the better of it. She calmed her powers and shook her head. She gave a small smile. "No Inuyasha. I am not your brother's whore. Now if you'll excuse me." She stood up and jumped into the well.
Inuyasha stared open mouthed at the well for a second before he snapped back to reality. "Did that wench just ditch me!?!" He was about to follow her but he got an unbearable ringing in his head. He clamped his hands over his ears and fell to his knees with his mouth open in a silent scream.
"INUYASHA!! REMEMBER KIKYOU!!! THE WEAK REINCARNATION IS OF NO CONCERN!!!!"
The ringing stopped and Inuyasha lost all thoughts of going after Kagome, he only thought of Kikyou.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome jumped back into the well house holding back tears. She did not want to see Inuyasha. 'And he had the NERVE to call me a whore! And I let him.'
She walked back in the house to see Yuka and Eri were awake and drinking tea.
"Yuka! Are you okay? Do you feel alright?" asked Kagome.
Yuka nodded and looked at Kagome strangely, "Kagome? What happened to the stripes on your cheeks? And where did they come from in the first place?" asked Yuka.
Eri looked at Kagome strangely also. "Yeah, your eyes were red too. And how were you able to hold him in place without even touching him. Tell us Kagome."
Kagome knew she was between a rock and a hard place. 'Mio? Should I tell them?'
#Yes Kagome, they are trustworthy. Besides, they will need your help soon.#
'Okay.'
"Yuka, Eri, close your eyes. Don't ask questions, don't scream, and most of all, don't run." Yuka and Eri obeyed without hesitation, trusting they're best friend completely.
Kagome shifted and said, "Okay, you can open your eyes now."
They opened they're eyes, and they're jaws dropped. "Kagome?" they said in unison.
Kagome nodded.
Yuka and Eri squealed, but not in fright.
Kagome looked mortified. 'Oh no!' She thought.
Yuka and Eri pounced on Kagome and attacked her tail. "KAWAII!!!"
Kagome turned a shade of white and sighed. She twitched her tail to make them see that it was attached. Yuka gasped and started petting it.
'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! NOT MY WEAKNESS!!!' was all Kagome could think before she went into la la land. Eri giggled snapping Kagome back to reality.
"What?" was all Kagome said.
"Kagome, *giggle* why didn't you tell us sooner!" said Yuka in an accusing tone.
Kagome smiled at them and gave them a big hug, which was a big mistake considering it gave them instant access to her wings. "I didn't think you guys would take it so well, and besides, there's a whole lot more to tell you. If you sit down, I'll start from the beginning."
Kagome spent the next hour talking to Yuka and Eri. They understood and listened. Kagome wasn't the only one who had to listen to her grandpa's stories while growing up. Kagome told them about what Inuyasha did to her and about Sesshoumaru. And Yuka and Eri, being who they were, comforted her. Kagome did not cry as she wanted to, but instead gave them a smile. She told them her real name was Noyoroha, but that she would still go by Kagome.
Yuka spoke up and said, "Hey Kagome? How about we go on one last trip to the mall?"
Kagome grinned and said. "Sure! Let's go!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome had gotten quite a bit of stuff. She had only hidden her wings, tail, claws, and markings so she could find things that would fit her in her demon shape. She had gotten a black, leather, collared, vest that was zip up and only went to just above her belly button. To go with that she got tight, black, leather flares that zipped up the sides. She also got a long black trench coat; it sipped up in the front, but about 6 inches away from the sipper on either side, there were slits that went up to her upper thigh. It was the same in the back, except there was no zipper. The coat also had a hood that would cover most of her head when down all the way. She got long black gloves that went up to her elbow, but it didn't have any covering on the fingers, perfect for her claws. To go on her feet, she got shoes that were similar to Sesshoumaru's, except it had more of a dangerous look to it, because it zipped up the side and it had a steel toe. It also looked more feminine. To top everything off, she got a black, sort of halter top that had a strap going only over one arm; (Think George of the jungle.) but it was very tight and was only as long as the vest. It was also made of a tough material that reminded her of animal skin.
She wanted to go for an intimidating look, but she planned on doing something later, and she wanted to have her stomach visible. She seriously considered getting her claws manicured, in fact she did. She knew the money would go down the drain as soon as she used her poison claw but, hey, she wanted to look good for however long it would be.
She had her hair in a braid that went down her back. She had gotten a very nice dress, it was pure white, flowing and didn't have any sleeves. Attached to the back of the dress, was what looked like a long, flowing, scarf. But it was really more of a, shawl. It was meant to be attached by loops to the elbows and worn like that, or it could be wrapped about the neck and worn as a scarf. It had a white sash to constrict it about the waist. The bottom back part of the dress was longer and was meant to drag on the ground, or could be lifted up and walked with.
Kagome had her claws painted black, with silver streaking it.
Kagome had made sure all of her clothes were of the right material and seaming, because she would more than likely have to cut slits in the back for her wings, and a hole in the, tail bone area. She could always place a spell on her clothes for it to mend when she shifted to human form, but she didn't feel like doing that right now.
It was nighttime by the time they left the mall. Kagome was wearing her new, black, outfit; the whole shabang. Kagome, Yuka, and Eri were laughing all the way home. Kagome had told them the story of the, tsubasa horse incident with Sesshoumaru. She decided to leave out the escapade at the hot springs. THAT she would never tell to anyone. Ever. She was still a little bit in shock at being that close to a, very, extremely, godly, AHEM,. Naked, Sesshoumaru. She didn't think of Sesshoumaru like THAT. But she knew he needed a friend, Sesshoumaru kept all his emotions and feelings bottled up inside him. Hell, he'd been doing it for probably well over 100 years. Sometimes he looks so jaded. He even looks sad, like he's longing for something, or someone. He needed someone he could trust, not like a vassal or ally, a friend.
As she was thinking about this, she noticed a presence behind them, come to think of it, it had been behind them a while. She spread he senses out, she discovered there were people all around them with that same aura, black mixed with a dark maroon. The black was an evil sense, and the maroon was the intent to kill, injure, or do something bad, so basically, cruel intent. She had to get them out of here, and fast. She knew, these people were sent by Hikari. Kagome spoke to Yuka and Eri in a normal tone that betrayed none of her inner tenseness.
"Yuka, Eri. We've got Shimoto's people surrounding us. I need to think of a way to get us out of here without a skirmish and without revealing that I'm, a youkai. I would be able to fight them if I got you guys out of here; we're really close to the shrine. I think I have an idea of how to get you out of here. Just a second."
'Mio. Can you teleport Yuka and Eri back to the shrine?'
#I can, but I won't be with you for a period of time.#
'I don't care, just get them out of here and make sure they're safe.'
#All right. Whatever you do, don't lose control, and only kill if your life is in danger.#
'Thank you Mio. Bye now.'
"Yuka, Eri, you're going to be teleported back to the shrine. I'm going to direct the goons away from the direction of the shrine. I'll be there in no more than a half an hour. Bye now." As soon as she said that, Yuka and Eri were gone. Kagome spread her senses and discovered that there were about ten of them, they were within twenty feet of her.
She put her hood up and extended her claws. She pretended not to notice the person waiting for her to pass the alley that they were waiting in. She directed her senses on them to see if they had any guns, no. Thank kami. But they did have knives. She had her knives too. She had put a concealing spell on them, so they were not only invisible, but could not be detected by metal detectors.
She made sure she had easy access to them, and she stepped in front of the alley. The man who'd been waiting for her jumped out, trying to tackle her. She dodged him and hit him in the back of the head with her fist; he was on the ground unconscious. The two that had been behind her attacked her at once, they're knives out.
'The fun part.' Thought kagome with a sadistic smile.
She drew her athemaes and, out of reflex, purified them. The two men had not noticed her weapons and kept on with they're charge. They lunged at her with they're knives out in a stab motion. She almost sighed at how easy it would be to stop they're attack. She spread the athemae in her right hand and caught both knives in it, twisted it, and disarmed them both. She gave one a punch to the jaw, and the other she kicked in the chest, sending him flying into the empty street.
Kagome stood up straight and waited for more to come after her. None did. She sniffed the air. She could smell them very near, but they didn't make any move.
She growled softly and said, "Why don't you come out, I'm sure Shimoto wouldn't want cowards to do his dirty work." She taunted. It worked, but there was a downfall to that also, these ones had guns.
The remaining seven stepped out and pointed they're loaded guns at her. She knew she wouldn't be able to dodge a bullet, and she wasn't sure she would be able to stop a bullet with her telekinetic powers, and she wasn't about to take the chance. There was nothing for it; she would have to make a barrier using her miko powers. She sighed and shook her head.
She held up her right hand with her palm facing out as the men shot. The bullets hit the barrier and stopped dead. All of the men were staring open mouthed at her. She let her barrier down, but kept the bullets in the air using her telekinesis. Her eyes were glowing an eerie green, indicating excitement. She had seen this in a movie and always wanted to do it. She walked up to the bullet right in front of her, picked it out of mid air, and dropped it on the ground. After the bullet settled on the ground, the rest fell from mid air to fill the night air with tinkling sounds.
The men were rooted to the spot, staring wide-eyed at her in horror. The fear in their scents made Kagome give a smug smirk. She growled and her eyes sparked with green electricity. The men turned tail and ran. Kagome snickered. Then she giggled, and then chuckled, then she just laughed, her laughter permeated the air around her. If anyone had seen what had just happened, and then looked at Kagome, they would have thought she was a crazy psychopath.
When she got her laughing under control, she ran at top speed back to her house, so she got there in about five seconds.
Kagome jumped up the stairs and walked in.
"Yuka! Eri! How does my mom like the clothes?" she asked to her friends who were sitting on the couch in front of her.
Her friends gave the overly bouncy Kagome a look that said, 'You are soooo strange.'
Kagome just huffed and folded her arms. "KAGOME!!!" she heard Souta shout.
Souta, a human looking Souta, stomped down the stairs. He glared at Kagome and said. "Give me my tail and wings back NOW!" Yuka and Eri looked at him like he'd grown a second head. Kagome just touched his forehead and he went back to being a dragon. He noticed Yuka and Eri staring at him and he said, "What? Don't tell me you think clawed leathery wings are cute."
Yuka and Eri looked from Kagome to Souta, then Back to Kagome. "Is Souta going with you to the Sengoku Jidai?" Kagome smiled at Souta and ruffled his hair. He bit her hand.
"YEOW!!! You little savage! Get back here you blood thirsty, no good, sharp fanged, youkai!!!" She chased Souta all over the house until she finally managed to get a hold of him. She pinned him to the floor of the living room and started tickling him with her tail. Souta was rolling around laughing and Kagome didn't notice his tail swing at her until too late.
SMACK!
His tail hit her right in the side of the head. She stopped tickling him.
*blinkblink*
Kagome fell over onto her side, then onto her back. Souta looked at his sister while standing up. Yuka and Eri did the same.
Kagome's tail twitched.
Souta snickered. But then he noticed the sizable bruise starting to form on the side of her head. He felt guilt welling in his chest.
He knelt down and looked at the bruise. He flinched when she winced at the touch. He felt tears forming in his eyes. He had hurt his sister. Unintentionally, but he still hurt her. He laid his hand over the bruise, but to his surprise, a soft white light came from underneath it, then it disappeared. He removed his hand and saw that, not only was their no bruise, but Kagome's eyes were opened too.
Kagome glanced at Souta and said in a playful voice. "Souta, your tail might've knocked me out, but there is no escape from mine!" she wound her tail around Souta and lifted him up. She brought him over to the couch and dropped him there.
Round two of the chase. Begin.

The red mist slowly cleared from her vision, and she looked into the red face of an oxygen deprived Hikari. She snarled and threw him into the wall of the school garden. Now the stripes on Kagome's face were partially visible. The ground shook with the impact of Hikari's body to the wall. Kagome looked at his unconscious form with disgust and turned back to a terrified Eri, and an unconscious Yuka. Kagome shifted back so none of her youkai aspects showed.

Kagome smiled mentally. 'Ja ne.'
Kagome, forgetting to hide her scent and aura, leaned against the well and rubbed her temples where a headache was starting.
"Gods, how the hell did my life get so damn complicated?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
****Kaede's Village****
Inuyasha was sitting in a tree near the village sulking when he sensed a familiar presence.
'Kagome?' he sniffed the air, and sure enough, Kagome scent was coming from the direction of the well.
Inuyasha jumped from his tree branch and ran towards the scent of Kagome.
When he found her she was standing by the well, completely all right, not even the scent of the wound he thought she had. She had a faraway look in her eyes. A ghost of a smile marred her impassive face. She sat down by the well and rubbed her temples.
"Gods, how the hell did my life get so damn complicated?"
Inuyasha's jaw dropped. 'Did Kagome just swear?' was all he thought.
"Kagome." he whispered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome sensed the familiar presence too late. She heard his whisper. She felt that proverbial pain well up in her heart. Kagome stiffened.
"Greetings Inuyasha."
Inuyasha could only stare at her.
"I believe you've met my friend." A smirk played on her lips.
Inuyasha opened his mouth to say something, but nothing would come out.
"So, how many souls did Kikyou have to scavenge from the dead to recover from being pinned to a tree?"
Inuyasha found his voice. "Don't talk about Kikyou like that!"
Kagome ignored the comment and said, "I'll have you know, my friend was not very happy about being shot by an arrow of a corpse. As I was not happy about being shot by Naraku."
Inuyasha just kept staring at her. "How could Naraku have shot you when there is no trace of a wound on you?"
Kagome smirked again. "Inuyasha, you never did have any sense of problem solving. With my miko powers, I heal almost as fast as a demon. I'm not the same person you gave to Sesshoumaru. Oh, and by the way, I'm not exactly his prisoner anymore."
Inuyasha, mad at being insulted said something veeeerry stupid. "Then what are you? His whore?"
Kagome's eyes crackled with red electricity, identified as her miko powers. The ends of her hair sparked with it and her fingertips had little strings of electricity flickering in between them. "What did you call me?" she asked in a dangerously low, calm tone."
Inuyasha folded his arms and smirked. "Keh, I said what are you? His whore?"
Kagome seriously considered burning him to a crisp, but thought the better of it. She calmed her powers and shook her head. She gave a small smile. "No Inuyasha. I am not your brother's whore. Now if you'll excuse me." She stood up and jumped into the well.
Inuyasha stared open mouthed at the well for a second before he snapped back to reality. "Did that wench just ditch me!?!" He was about to follow her but he got an unbearable ringing in his head. He clamped his hands over his ears and fell to his knees with his mouth open in a silent scream.
"INUYASHA!! REMEMBER KIKYOU!!! THE WEAK REINCARNATION IS OF NO CONCERN!!!!"
The ringing stopped and Inuyasha lost all thoughts of going after Kagome, he only thought of Kikyou.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome jumped back into the well house holding back tears. She did not want to see Inuyasha. 'And he had the NERVE to call me a whore! And I let him.'
She walked back in the house to see Yuka and Eri were awake and drinking tea.
"Yuka! Are you okay? Do you feel alright?" asked Kagome.
Yuka nodded and looked at Kagome strangely, "Kagome? What happened to the stripes on your cheeks? And where did they come from in the first place?" asked Yuka.
Eri looked at Kagome strangely also. "Yeah, your eyes were red too. And how were you able to hold him in place without even touching him. Tell us Kagome."
Kagome knew she was between a rock and a hard place. 'Mio? Should I tell them?'
#Yes Kagome, they are trustworthy. Besides, they will need your help soon.#
'Okay.'
"Yuka, Eri, close your eyes. Don't ask questions, don't scream, and most of all, don't run." Yuka and Eri obeyed without hesitation, trusting they're best friend completely.
Kagome shifted and said, "Okay, you can open your eyes now."
They opened they're eyes, and they're jaws dropped. "Kagome?" they said in unison.
Kagome nodded.
Yuka and Eri squealed, but not in fright.
Kagome looked mortified. 'Oh no!' She thought.
Yuka and Eri pounced on Kagome and attacked her tail. "KAWAII!!!"
Kagome turned a shade of white and sighed. She twitched her tail to make them see that it was attached. Yuka gasped and started petting it.
'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! NOT MY WEAKNESS!!!' was all Kagome could think before she went into la la land. Eri giggled snapping Kagome back to reality.
"What?" was all Kagome said.
"Kagome, *giggle* why didn't you tell us sooner!" said Yuka in an accusing tone.
Kagome smiled at them and gave them a big hug, which was a big mistake considering it gave them instant access to her wings. "I didn't think you guys would take it so well, and besides, there's a whole lot more to tell you. If you sit down, I'll start from the beginning."
Kagome spent the next hour talking to Yuka and Eri. They understood and listened. Kagome wasn't the only one who had to listen to her grandpa's stories while growing up. Kagome told them about what Inuyasha did to her and about Sesshoumaru. And Yuka and Eri, being who they were, comforted her. Kagome did not cry as she wanted to, but instead gave them a smile. She told them her real name was Noyoroha, but that she would still go by Kagome.
Yuka spoke up and said, "Hey Kagome? How about we go on one last trip to the mall?"
Kagome grinned and said. "Sure! Let's go!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome had gotten quite a bit of stuff. She had only hidden her wings, tail, claws, and markings so she could find things that would fit her in her demon shape. She had gotten a black, leather, collared, vest that was zip up and only went to just above her belly button. To go with that she got tight, black, leather flares that zipped up the sides. She also got a long black trench coat; it sipped up in the front, but about 6 inches away from the sipper on either side, there were slits that went up to her upper thigh. It was the same in the back, except there was no zipper. The coat also had a hood that would cover most of her head when down all the way. She got long black gloves that went up to her elbow, but it didn't have any covering on the fingers, perfect for her claws. To go on her feet, she got shoes that were similar to Sesshoumaru's, except it had more of a dangerous look to it, because it zipped up the side and it had a steel toe. It also looked more feminine. To top everything off, she got a black, sort of halter top that had a strap going only over one arm; (Think George of the jungle.) but it was very tight and was only as long as the vest. It was also made of a tough material that reminded her of animal skin.
She wanted to go for an intimidating look, but she planned on doing something later, and she wanted to have her stomach visible. She seriously considered getting her claws manicured, in fact she did. She knew the money would go down the drain as soon as she used her poison claw but, hey, she wanted to look good for however long it would be.
She had her hair in a braid that went down her back. She had gotten a very nice dress, it was pure white, flowing and didn't have any sleeves. Attached to the back of the dress, was what looked like a long, flowing, scarf. But it was really more of a, shawl. It was meant to be attached by loops to the elbows and worn like that, or it could be wrapped about the neck and worn as a scarf. It had a white sash to constrict it about the waist. The bottom back part of the dress was longer and was meant to drag on the ground, or could be lifted up and walked with.
Kagome had her claws painted black, with silver streaking it.
Kagome had made sure all of her clothes were of the right material and seaming, because she would more than likely have to cut slits in the back for her wings, and a hole in the, tail bone area. She could always place a spell on her clothes for it to mend when she shifted to human form, but she didn't feel like doing that right now.
It was nighttime by the time they left the mall. Kagome was wearing her new, black, outfit; the whole shabang. Kagome, Yuka, and Eri were laughing all the way home. Kagome had told them the story of the, tsubasa horse incident with Sesshoumaru. She decided to leave out the escapade at the hot springs. THAT she would never tell to anyone. Ever. She was still a little bit in shock at being that close to a, very, extremely, godly, AHEM,. Naked, Sesshoumaru. She didn't think of Sesshoumaru like THAT. But she knew he needed a friend, Sesshoumaru kept all his emotions and feelings bottled up inside him. Hell, he'd been doing it for probably well over 100 years. Sometimes he looks so jaded. He even looks sad, like he's longing for something, or someone. He needed someone he could trust, not like a vassal or ally, a friend.
As she was thinking about this, she noticed a presence behind them, come to think of it, it had been behind them a while. She spread he senses out, she discovered there were people all around them with that same aura, black mixed with a dark maroon. The black was an evil sense, and the maroon was the intent to kill, injure, or do something bad, so basically, cruel intent. She had to get them out of here, and fast. She knew, these people were sent by Hikari. Kagome spoke to Yuka and Eri in a normal tone that betrayed none of her inner tenseness.
"Yuka, Eri. We've got Shimoto's people surrounding us. I need to think of a way to get us out of here without a skirmish and without revealing that I'm, a youkai. I would be able to fight them if I got you guys out of here; we're really close to the shrine. I think I have an idea of how to get you out of here. Just a second."
'Mio. Can you teleport Yuka and Eri back to the shrine?'
#I can, but I won't be with you for a period of time.#
'I don't care, just get them out of here and make sure they're safe.'
#All right. Whatever you do, don't lose control, and only kill if your life is in danger.#
'Thank you Mio. Bye now.'
"Yuka, Eri, you're going to be teleported back to the shrine. I'm going to direct the goons away from the direction of the shrine. I'll be there in no more than a half an hour. Bye now." As soon as she said that, Yuka and Eri were gone. Kagome spread her senses and discovered that there were about ten of them, they were within twenty feet of her.
She put her hood up and extended her claws. She pretended not to notice the person waiting for her to pass the alley that they were waiting in. She directed her senses on them to see if they had any guns, no. Thank kami. But they did have knives. She had her knives too. She had put a concealing spell on them, so they were not only invisible, but could not be detected by metal detectors.
She made sure she had easy access to them, and she stepped in front of the alley. The man who'd been waiting for her jumped out, trying to tackle her. She dodged him and hit him in the back of the head with her fist; he was on the ground unconscious. The two that had been behind her attacked her at once, they're knives out.
'The fun part.' Thought kagome with a sadistic smile.
She drew her athemaes and, out of reflex, purified them. The two men had not noticed her weapons and kept on with they're charge. They lunged at her with they're knives out in a stab motion. She almost sighed at how easy it would be to stop they're attack. She spread the athemae in her right hand and caught both knives in it, twisted it, and disarmed them both. She gave one a punch to the jaw, and the other she kicked in the chest, sending him flying into the empty street.
Kagome stood up straight and waited for more to come after her. None did. She sniffed the air. She could smell them very near, but they didn't make any move.
She growled softly and said, "Why don't you come out, I'm sure Shimoto wouldn't want cowards to do his dirty work." She taunted. It worked, but there was a downfall to that also, these ones had guns.
The remaining seven stepped out and pointed they're loaded guns at her. She knew she wouldn't be able to dodge a bullet, and she wasn't sure she would be able to stop a bullet with her telekinetic powers, and she wasn't about to take the chance. There was nothing for it; she would have to make a barrier using her miko powers. She sighed and shook her head.
She held up her right hand with her palm facing out as the men shot. The bullets hit the barrier and stopped dead. All of the men were staring open mouthed at her. She let her barrier down, but kept the bullets in the air using her telekinesis. Her eyes were glowing an eerie green, indicating excitement. She had seen this in a movie and always wanted to do it. She walked up to the bullet right in front of her, picked it out of mid air, and dropped it on the ground. After the bullet settled on the ground, the rest fell from mid air to fill the night air with tinkling sounds.
The men were rooted to the spot, staring wide-eyed at her in horror. The fear in their scents made Kagome give a smug smirk. She growled and her eyes sparked with green electricity. The men turned tail and ran. Kagome snickered. Then she giggled, and then chuckled, then she just laughed, her laughter permeated the air around her. If anyone had seen what had just happened, and then looked at Kagome, they would have thought she was a crazy psychopath.
When she got her laughing under control, she ran at top speed back to her house, so she got there in about five seconds.
Kagome jumped up the stairs and walked in.
"Yuka! Eri! How does my mom like the clothes?" she asked to her friends who were sitting on the couch in front of her.
Her friends gave the overly bouncy Kagome a look that said, 'You are soooo strange.'
Kagome just huffed and folded her arms. "KAGOME!!!" she heard Souta shout.
Souta, a human looking Souta, stomped down the stairs. He glared at Kagome and said. "Give me my tail and wings back NOW!" Yuka and Eri looked at him like he'd grown a second head. Kagome just touched his forehead and he went back to being a dragon. He noticed Yuka and Eri staring at him and he said, "What? Don't tell me you think clawed leathery wings are cute."
Yuka and Eri looked from Kagome to Souta, then Back to Kagome. "Is Souta going with you to the Sengoku Jidai?" Kagome smiled at Souta and ruffled his hair. He bit her hand.
"YEOW!!! You little savage! Get back here you blood thirsty, no good, sharp fanged, youkai!!!" She chased Souta all over the house until she finally managed to get a hold of him. She pinned him to the floor of the living room and started tickling him with her tail. Souta was rolling around laughing and Kagome didn't notice his tail swing at her until too late.
SMACK!
His tail hit her right in the side of the head. She stopped tickling him.
*blinkblink*
Kagome fell over onto her side, then onto her back. Souta looked at his sister while standing up. Yuka and Eri did the same.
Kagome's tail twitched.
Souta snickered. But then he noticed the sizable bruise starting to form on the side of her head. He felt guilt welling in his chest.
He knelt down and looked at the bruise. He flinched when she winced at the touch. He felt tears forming in his eyes. He had hurt his sister. Unintentionally, but he still hurt her. He laid his hand over the bruise, but to his surprise, a soft white light came from underneath it, then it disappeared. He removed his hand and saw that, not only was their no bruise, but Kagome's eyes were opened too.
Kagome glanced at Souta and said in a playful voice. "Souta, your tail might've knocked me out, but there is no escape from mine!" she wound her tail around Souta and lifted him up. She brought him over to the couch and dropped him there.
Round two of the chase. Begin.
